Welcome to our latest release - hip angle measurements! Hip dysplasia seriously affects the affected individuals’ quality of life, and the cost of treatment is a tremendous strain on the resources of any healthcare system. A single hip replacement costs $US 80,000. As many as one in ten adults demonstrate signs of hip dyspasia. As populations age globally, one could consider this a burgeoning global health crisis. https://lnkd.in/gbyBwzwZ

For women with heart failure, misdiagnosis can have dangerous consequences – delaying access to life-saving care and exposing deeper biases within our medical systems. Overcoming this knowledge gap is crucial. #AbbottProud for the opportunity to highlight a critical need for both patients and healthcare providers to improve awareness and advocacy around equitable diagnostic practices and greater understanding of the nuances of heart disease in women. This #HeartMonth, I hope you’ll join me by learning more about the sex-specific symptoms of heart failure and what we can all do to ensure more women have access to the life-saving therapies they deserve: https://lnkd.in/gMDYjdMz #WomensHealth #HeartFailure #HealthEquity

Does anyone in your family have #breastcancer? What about heart disease or high blood pressure? How about drug and alcohol use or the state of your family’s #mentalhealth? Understanding and sharing one’s family health history is a pivotal aspect of proactive health care management. By openly communicating and documenting family health history, patients can provide physicians with valuable insights into potential genetic susceptibilities and hereditary conditions. It also establishes a foundation for more personalized and targeted medical care. Read Sara Berg, MS's article below to learn more. #NVFP #conciergemedicine https://lnkd.in/evh7Tgpe

A few weeks ago, I concluded the second series of my column titled "What Health Professionals Shouldn't Say to Sickle Cell Patients - Part 2." This informative article aims to educate healthcare providers on effective communication strategies with sickle cell patients, promoting optimal care and preventing discrimination in the healthcare system. Below is an excerpt from the article “My other sickle cell patients are not affected this way.” This remark showcases a profound lack of understanding, as sickle cell affects people differently — even those with the same genotype. A variety of factors that aren’t always within our control can influence the severity and manifestation of the disease. That’s why pain management requires an individualized approach.

Our founder, Valentina Milanova 🇺🇦, was featured in a recent article by Metro.co.uk discussing the challenges of getting an endometriosis diagnosis in the UK. As the founder of Daye and a women's health advocate, Valentina emphasized the importance of enabling patients with insights about their condition and how to best manage it: "Empowering patients with knowledge enables them to advocate for themselves, seek proper care, and access support networks," Valentina highlighted in the article. "Raising awareness about endometriosis is instrumental in reducing diagnostic delays, improving treatment outcomes, and enhancing the quality of life for those affected by this condition." At Daye, we are truly passionate about raising awareness and making a difference in the lives of those impacted by endometriosis. This is why we created the world's first Period & Pelvic Pain Clinic, designed to improve the diagnosis process and offer personalised treatment for individuals facing this condition.
